I am going to buy my own goggle as a start to my paintball gear. When I lecture in Sport Science courses, I use to tell participants the importance of safety in sports. When one play sports, an injury is the beginning of the end of an athletic career. Once a player experience a serious injury, he will not be able to regain his full ability as before injury.In the sport of paintball, goggle is the most important protective equipment for a player because it protects the most inportant part of the human body- the eye. It protects the players eye from being hit by the pellet and it also protect the ear. The head being the most exposed part of the body during a game is vulnerable to being hit by the pellet. It is also the first part of the body that appears behind the bunker. The eye ball being soft will be injured seriously and can lead to blindness if hit by the high velocity paintball pellets. I have seen many players being shot on the goggle and therefore conclude that its the most targeted area. If being hit by a paintball can leave blue black bruise on the body even under the clothes, just imagine how severe it can be on the eyes and can cause germinate damage. 
What if he is not wearing the paintball goggle
That being the reason I want to buy the goggle first. Another thing is because of health reaons. Sharing house goggle with other players is just not a healthy practice or habit. I read in a blog about Finding The Best Paintball Goggle.
Criteria in choosing the mask
- Should be fog resistant so that the player can see at all times during play.
- Cover all areasof the body that are sensitive, including the ears and neck.
- Should be dark and easily blend in with the environment around them. (Especially if playing in woodball environment)

wa wa wa .. good one uncle!!
ps. if you geta good deal, dun forget me oso kays?! :-)
maybe for our next training I can save RM 20 on goggle
well...u can opt for E-Vents goggle which is much more easier to clean - esp when you have to dismantle the whole thing and put it back again after cleaning process.
After sometime, the goggle will do get foggy, so the only solution is - get an anti-fog spray and apply it on ur goggle before using it - then it shud be effective whether its sunny or raining. =D
Angel,
Thanks for your advice.Erm....whats the RM like?
The carbon fibre ones costs about rm500+ but you can get the Vents Helix or Cylus at a lower price.

Its true that you need to wear the mask for yourself preference...
Tell you my first experience of wearing house mask, it was so smelly, and blur on vision... cos operators don't even bother to clear it nicely... after my experience with that mask... on my 2nd game in paintball I have decide to get my own mask... but at that time I din't care what mask just get a new one for myself is enough... but it was wrong decision cos it was so heavy till I can feel the whole thing is like hang on my head...
And you have to bear in mind that cleaning process will it be hassle-free or just like the all time famous Dye I3... I get to know that this Dye I3 goggle system needs at least half an hour to clean it...
cheers
